Just curious. This feature has always been in the game, but I think since our player base has dwindled over the years it might not be used as much.

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.

just about never, really. Though as you say, I used to. It is not necessary when the scores page is so short :(

I used to use it when I first joined REG and the player list was quite large, although when I found out I could get the same effect by doing ctrl+f on view all warlords on the scores I stopped using it.

Edit - looking back I'd forgotten how many fields you can use to search (networth, species etc.) but as has already been said, it would be useful if the player list was quite large

I seem to remember last time I used it it didn't give me the results I wanted.
At the risk of ruining Briar's career by disparaging her find of the famous Sackaleaderer horse...

Yes. I wear high heels Krowdon. Any tips on how I should do my hair?

Twilight Shadow

I have used it once when I first started and it gave me the opposite results I wanted I believe but that was a year ago I would have to try it out again. But I never use it...

I think it needs more features. I'll look later and send you a message on my thoughts.

I still occasionally use is, when I'm looking for a specific person and the names start to blur together because I'm tired.

Agreed Volkov, sometimes the guy your trying find seems to be hiding. Also, the categories make comparison of people playing the same strats easy.

Never. But it still serves a purpose.

On a related note: News Search... It doesn't allow you just to search news events with the box blank. It hasn't since 2003.

It just says "You must enter a name to search for a player. "

But if you type "0" in, and search, it will show a list of the most recent attacks.

Can we make it so it works without having to enter 0?

I know Recent Attacks is supposed to give the same info in an easier format. But because it never worked for years and years (well it did, it was just inaccurate), I've never trusted it. I don't know if it even works now.
